Retirement benefits vary widely by firm. Big 4 generally have generous pensions, though of course those are funded with what is essentially deferred compensation. At other firms the in-year compensation is higher but you're on your own to fund retirement. Big 4 is structured this way due to mandatory retirement of Partners. And they have that to ensure enough flow out of the partnership to admit a reasonable number of new partners.

This is very firm specific. If you want to know the situation at your firm, I suggest you ask around among friendly senior folks.

Is there an easy/efficient way to figure out how much you've contributed to vs earned in your Roth accounts? I started contributing >20 years ago to my employer's Roth 401k and have rolled it over to a Roth IRA and moved it between multiple custodians, e.g. Fidelity, Vanguard, UBS, Personal Capital, etc. It is unclear to me how much I contributed vs how much I earned by investing it.

The purpose of doing this is I want to use $10K of it, but want to prove that the $10K is from my contribution.

I'm an in-house counsel at a national company. Our GC is leaving. I’m the only other in-house attorney, and I’ve only been here for 4 months. I like the job. Previously, I was a 6th-year associate.
The CEO asked me to stay and implied a larger role, but doesn't have a clear picture of what that looks like. Asked for my help in redefining. Even unsure as to timing or whether we'll hire another GC. Questions for Fishbowl: (1) benefits or pitfalls? (2) questions or requests you'd have for CEO?

Partners/Principals, how much did you pay into your partnership? Which firm do you belong to? For MDs at Accenture. Did you have equity purchase requirements?

Pretty highly rated consistently and up for director this year. For years been thinking of starting a business (franchise). Pandemic has put a dent in that but still viable option. Gross profit is 350k (median) and a line of business I’d be very interested in. Clearly this is less pay than new parter (but could open more than one eventually) and risk may be higher for failure. What other factors should I consider when evaluating staying to partner or trying my hand as an entrepreneur?
